AI needs me to collaborate with it. I don't need AI for anything. Zero. NOTHING. This is like people telling you to play with the kid who beats you up and steals your lunch. NO.

craft brewer - the scene is declining here, but I'm still into it and have made some banger beers with a very primitive kit. One bar owner said he'd put something I fermented in my bedroom on tap lol If I took time to study up and had access to top-notch equipment I reckon I could make great stuff

Hurting my back sucks but I'll take it as an excuse to go on my upper body bro arc while heavy lower body work isn't possible losing weight already, might as well hyperfocus on calisthenics, become a ring dip monster and shit

On cyberpunk and the nature of cognition

played through the demo of @ho-games-studio.bsky.social's "Am I Nima" yesterday, finished with my credit card jumping out of my wallet to buy the full game, and, to my dismay, it not out yet. KILLER STUFF, highly recommend it. I'm excited to play the full release down the line. Wishlist it is.

loving Gloomwood badass level design, immaculate vibes

learned TODAY that Gloomwood finally has controller support - already started playing while the baby is off with grandma Game slaps

had an intense, packed day that started with getting to work within 20 minutes of being awake, rushing to get a lot done before taking the kid to the doc, cooking lunch, then work again, then supermarket run THEN it was time for me to stay with the kid by myself so my wife can go to the gym

this weekend's daggerheart session summary by @pscoponi.bsky.social

Something started autoplaying here that felt like off-brand KoRn with "Jonathan Davis but wrong" kinda vocals it just made me want to listen to the real OG nu-metal stuff looked it up anyway due to curiosity AI slop "band" called SKARS FUCK SKARS FUCK "IRANIAN JAZZ" FUCK ALL AI-EXTRUDED MUSIC

The Séance of Blake Manor was one of my favorite games last year and you owe it to yourself if you like detective and deduction games to at least give it a look :)

Happy to explain myself upon request about some of these haha anyone want to join the fun? grids.fun/t/about-me-v...

This new Sentences system is intriguing. I'm curious how narrative conflict resolution works given how specific these Sentences are. Could be a good story mechanic to add alongside adventuresome dice-rolling? (H/t @wizleo.bsky.social for sending me this thread)

should i get a fursona, seems prudent in this day and age

been thinking about this a bit now and it is very funny that despite all the hype and dooming it never produced anything anyone wanted to watch. feel like that’s the fundamental thing about AI: it presumes & requires a captive, cowed audience that can’t turn anywhere else. and that’ll never be true

Danse Macabre: Medieval Horror Roleplaying by @timespace.place is now live on @itch.io! stillfleet.itch.io/danse-macabr... If you missed the campaign, you can still add the PDFs to your library.

this is depressing reading but it doesn't surprise me in the least. teaching first year university students, it's obvious many of them have already had their education undermined by LLMs before they even got to us

Extremely excited to get more Stillfleet AP, and happy that my friends at @stillfleet.bsky.social are having their work featured on something this big! Grit System games kick ass! The team behind them kicks ass and working with them is a joy! Don't hesitate to pick up the flagship Stillfleet game!

Welcome to Solari. Starring @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social as XL-ZL, Lou Wilson as Ze'Doven Iverex, and @erikaishii.bsky.social as Chee Tan'ka, with GM @aabria.bsky.social! Be sure to catch the Solari premiere TOMORROW, March 17th, on your favorite podcasting platforms!

Generative AI has led to entirely new paradigms and unprecedented accelerations in the fields of fucking yourself over in public in the most embarrassing and humiliating way possible

Subnautica devs v. Krafton ruling is ABSOLUTELY stunning. Start at the top of page 32 and read until the end of that section on page 37. Krafton CEO was warned by their legal personnel to not follow ChatGPT into what is likely Some Of The Dumbest Legal Shit Ever, CEO believed the plagiarism bot.

As a GM, player art based on campaign events makes me so fucking happy. So imagine my excitement about deciding to ANIMATE something that happened in the #daggerheart campaign I run and she plays in. SOON. But, for now, she has released a little teaser. www.instagram.com/reel/DV84iPC...

We are very close to sending backers ALL BOOKS as PDFs for Danse Macabre: Medieval Horror Roleplaying. This is the fastest we've ever fulfilled an entire game, and the most writing and art we've delivered, at a high level, in such a short period of time. DM is looking fantastic!

Not exactly aimed at this type of shit but there is a @typebarmagazine.bsky.social article that came to mind. We gotta get snobbier, guys. Skimming the simplified version of shit, especially if a robot did it it, is not the same as *actually reading it*. www.typebarmagazine.com/sci-fi-fanta...

I'm actively working to find horror/Weird/queer/speculative fiction tabling events for Cursed Morsels this year. I've applied for a couple local ones (OddMart Sundays and Book Fair for Adults), but are there any events within a few hours of the Twin Cities folks would recommend?

My #arnoldstrongmanclassic 2026 prediction features some optimism on behalf of my favorites (Hatton and Licis), and it still doesn't knock Hooper off the top spot. This prediction has Martins in top shape and Hooper zeroing stones. Holy shit.

One of my first artsy pieces of games writing was about Bluepoint's Shadow of the Colossus remake, a game that felt in conversation with its origin. This is a senseless loss. caneandrinse.com/shadow-of-th...

BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned. A shocking end for a well-respected studio.

labor reforms in Argentina are fucking scary, neo-slavery shit feels like the country is becoming what Chile was back in Pinochet's time: testing lab for unhinged neoliberal evil

fucking humbled by my handstand attempts today been a while since coach put skill work in the program, but it was a fun challenge

Very cool that another game about repatriation heists exists! When I made Beutekunst it did cross my mind that a videogame with basically the same premise would be awesome, and now one has been made with an explicitly africanfuturist vision. I'll have to check it out at some point.

Hey y'all. A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews. Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

"Fascist techbro fuckwads stole what we wrote, and then ticks and leeches like Coral Fucking Hart are happy to drink the blood those monsters have already stolen from us."

Ultimately right now in video games I feel surrounded by people who are worried, all the time, about long-term unemployment and ensuing social (or actual) death and so if you seem very invested in coming up with fun uses for LLMs in games I find you despicable.

i think in the name of fairness the producers of the baldur's gate tv show should demand that tv writers do at least a year of running around in circles doing unpaid writing tests before they're allowed to write for the show

starting to get real busy and likely staying real busy for a while I did, however, dream up most of a movie and started taking notes guess i'm fridging the current personal project that failed to spark joy and just cost me a lot of time for very little progress and going with the flow

painfully plausible
